everytime I want to open a website through google another site goes open first mostly sex and other wrong site's. How can I stop this?
Whenever I search something at Google and I press on the link of that site another site pops up and mostly it are very wrong site's like sex or games or commercials (groupon, rocketnews). I always have to go back to the link and press it again and again. After 3-4 times the other site's popping up, the right site finally shows up. How do I stop the other site's from popping up and that the correct site only shows up?
